carb up days????

[IronReload04]

i am basically 4-5 weeks in at my cuttting phase. i am limiting carbs to 100 grams from only oatmeal. I am suddenly dropping strength. would carbing up help out and not effect fat loss if i did it like once a week or so.

if i should do a carbup day, how much carbs should i take in and from what sources. rice and pasta or extra oatmeal?

why the fuvk are you only takeing down 100 g a day

[TADOLFI]

Yes - I believe you should carb up. 100 Grams - even on a cutting diet is too low. You should be taking in more than that daily. (Unless you're on a 1,200 calorie a day diet)
Don't forget some green veggies - good complex carbs.

Carb up day would be good for sure. Whats your BF% right now, how much weight have you lost?

[IronReload04]

firstly, i had just one off day. other than that, as far as strength goes, i am hovering fairly close to my old weights, figureing that i am off by an average of 2 reps which isnt to bad. getting 2 reps back when i am dont cutting would be a very rapid thing i would believe.

I am on week 5 now. i havnt stepped on the scale since week 3. at week 3, i had lost 17 pounds. I dont know my bodyfat. but i can tell you their is a noticable difference.
1. pants that i was "squeezing" into, are now falling off me without a belt. pants that i could not fit into i can now.
2. my skin is kind of like jay cutlers, i will never be veiny and striated, but rather grainy and full like yates i hope. the veins that i do have are becoming more visible wrapping around my forearms ever so slightly. i have very very very faint vein (s) prodruding out of the peak of my bicept, no where near the firehose running down the arm, i dont think i would even have that at 7 percent bodyfat truthfully.
3. I am starting to see slight quad seperation
4. I am finally seing a hint that maybe i do have the EXTREME most faintest view of blurry abbs. (lower)
5. Their is a sharp line and hardness where my lower lats meet my torso, lower lats are sticking out nicely if htat makes sense

also been doing cardio twice a day except today lol. my body is rediculously stubborn at losing fat. i must keep carbs at 100 and do cardio twice a day

my strength is hangin in their for them most part.

i am not sure how much carbs to eat on carbup days and from what sources

[IronReload04]

my protein is also at 2 grams per pound like it always is

[IronReload04]

why the fuvk are you only takeing down 100 g a day

i am pretty sure the cutting sticky is hovering in at about 100. i am also takin in 2 grams per pound of protein. my metabolism is at the extreme end of slow for what ever f ing reason. i gain muscle easily though

[steve0]

yes well thats why its a sticky bruh, that dosnt mean you have to follow it to a T when im cutting i hitt around the 150 range, in my carbs

[Panzerfaust]

Posting a pic might help as well, sounds like you are doing good thus far.

[IronReload04]

If it helps any, i believe myself to be mid to high 13%'s to real low 14% bodyfat

I believe i can be 11-12 in 3-4 weeks. hopefully 2-3. 5 weeks ago i was probably 18-20 percent. so if i can get to 11. that would be a 6-9 percent drop in 5-9 weeks. hmm, maybe i am not as endo as i though i was? All i know is my muscles are de****g with this low carb shit ok. i am still hanging near my old weights.(lifting weights wise)

[IronReload04]

also, guys, still not sure about the ballpark amount of carbs i should eat on my carbup day and from what sources these carbs should come from. extra oatmeal or use rice and pasta and the upper GI class.

[Giantz11]

Carbs should come from any where. Keep fat low and make sure to get some protein in. You should consume anywhere from 4,000-5,000 cals on this carb up day depending on your size. This should fill you out nicely and will help you lose wight in the long run.
